According to our information, the student electronic was extensively re-examined Wednesday in late afternoon and part of the night. He gave no concrete information. The elements on which the investigators argue today mainly from peeling the work of the computer and two phones of the young man.

On Thursday, investigators are seeking two accomplices, at least. The first, from Seine-Saint-Denis, is the owner of the car in which Sid Ahmed Ghlam had recovered between 13 and 16 April in Aulnay-sous-Bois, several automatic rifles, supplied chargers and vests -balles. The key of the car was in a hiding previously indicated to the student by his mysterious interlocutor, who sends indications by SMS.

The other accomplice would be the person with whom Sid Ahmed Ghlam dialogued Saturday night on Facebook. On the social network, such as SMS, the young man then expressed his fear to act. “I do not feel ready,” he has written several times, suggesting that some of his interlocutors could have been aware of.

They also seek to identify the one that goes to Sponsor of this attack, which could be in Syria and to measure the role of a near Saint-Dizier (Haute-Marne), sometimes presented as his girlfriend or his wife, now in custody.

Examination after questioning, investigators increasingly convinced that the young man facing them alone (see below), had no shoulders to accomplish his crazy project: the shoot heavy weapons to the output of one or two churches in Villejuif (Val-de-Marne). So it is for them to determine whether, beyond religious exaltation that characterizes it, Sid Ahmed Ghlam planned to receive reinforcement accomplices who have lent a hand at the time of the shooting.

A custody without the assistance of a lawyer

Taken into custody Sunday for late morning, after the discovery of its arsenal of war, Sid Ahmed Ghlam is not represented by a lawyer. The investigation to clarify his involvement in a terrorist enterprise about to occur, flagrance, obeys a derogation which does not require the assistance of counsel “in view of the particular circumstances”. Increased to 144 hours, it could be completed late Saturday morning.
